Hi all
I would like opinions on this Drongo taken in Sepilok, Sabah, Borneo on 4th August.
At the time thought was juvenile Greater Racket-tailed (without rackets) but on getting home and reviewing photos I'm wondering if it could be Hair-crested Drongo. I'm basing this on the glossy plumage (could be a trick of the light?), the curved outer tail feathers and I think on picture 2. if you look closely you can make out a bit of a scruffy crest. This may be wishful thinking as H-C Drongo would be a lifer. Do I have a case or do I need to adorn the stringer's blouse?
Thanks
Simon
